i think they should change christmas... they should call it day off day.
i mean at least in the uk... thats all i can speak for.
i was working last night. if you ask the average person - are you christian - alot of the will say yeah. increasingly alot of people are answering i believe in a god, a higher being but i wouldnt say i'm a christian. the other increasingly common answer is the option of athiesm.
but of those that do give christian as an answer. the ones that do say they're christian of them how many are truely christian? go to church, pray and live the whole christian lifestyle etc?
when you talk to people about these things it does feel as if there is a distinct lack of interest in the faith. there's no religious vibe about the day at all. there's no religious meaning anymore. there's no visit to the church in the morning. nothing.
instead its all about saving up for those presents and the bottles of liquor that you only purchase once a year and of course the office party. going out on those special nightouts, making sure enough money is in the bank to last for the binge drinking.
its a shame people have forgotton the whole meaning of christmas. its not even about family, love, xbox 360's, drink or the turkey.
that bloke
jesus christ
its about him...

It's a shame that a pagan tradition was adopted by "Christianity" in the first place.
You're talking about Christians who aren't Church goers.
What about those Muslims who don't pray the obligatory 5 prayers a day?
The sikhs who cut their hair?
The hindus that eat pork?
They're there in every religion.
Find the true Christians.
Look beyond those who sing "Last Christmas" whilst stumbling around in their inebrieted state, beyond those who decorate their house with so many lights you wonder what their electric bill would be like, even beyond those who attend Midnight Mass.
(Not that Christians don't do that sort of thing... Individuals might well do stuff like that)
What I'm trying to get at, though, is those who properly have read about the history, have read through the Torah and the Bible.
They'll celebrate Jesus' birth totally different.
i was thinking who the fuck is this nessy!?
